Obituary: Bertie Taylor
We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing earlier this week of lifelong Glenman Bertie Taylor, at the age of 95 years old. We pass on deepest condolences to Bertie's family and friends.
This interview with Bertie appeared in the Belfast Telegraph in October 2021. We believe it is a fitting epitaph to a great member of the Glentoran family and are proud to reproduce it by way of a tribute.
Genial Glentoran fan Bertie Taylor has a host of tales to tell
Larne Women 0-3 Glentoran Women
Glentoran’s love affair with the Electric Ireland Women’s Challenge Cup continued tonight as this quarter final win means the team moved closer to its 6th successive final looking for its 6th successive win.
The Glens opened the scoring quickly when in the 7th minute when Emily Wilson was first to meet Jess Foy’s ball over the Larne defence to chip over Cerys Sharkey in the Larne goal.
Shortly afterwards skipper Foy went from provider to scorer when from a free kick into the box Nadene Caldwell nodded back for Jess to head home.
Glentoran 0–1 Crusaders
A catastrophic moment in defence caused the new look Glens to drop all 3 points at the Bet McClean Oval this evening in our first Sports Direct Premiership game of the new season.
Without the suspended Fuad Sule and the injured Johnny Russell and Marcus Kane, Declan Devine started with a 3-5-2 line-up that included 4 new signings making their debuts – Danial Gyollai, Frankie Hvid, Dylan Connolly and Wassim. James Singleton in midfield was captain.
